Podcast:Bible Caddie Podcast Published On: Thu Apr 13 2023 Description: As we continue to look at Jesus Christ in an effort to get to know Him better, we are a few weeks into our new season asking the question, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. We’ve already heard Him claim in the Gospel of John that He is the Bread of Life and the Light of the World. Last week, Jesus jumped into a metaphor about shepherds and sheep. He claimed “I am the Door”, the only way into God’s pasture of safety and security and life. This week, we pick up right where we left off in the Gospel of John, in Chapter 10 verse 11 with His fourth I Am statement. In this passage, Jesus claims to be the Good Shepherd, God’s very own representative, even God Himself, who has come to gather His flock. This is only possible because He will laid down His life for His sheep, only to take it up again that He might lead us and care for us for eternity. In short, salvation and life are only ever possible through Him!
